For clients who need targeted support beyond a standard package — one-time projects, ongoing strategy, operational cleanup, or hands-on help building systems.
Book an HourWe start with a free 30-minute call to understand your business, your goals, your team, and where revenue is leaking. No pitch deck. Just an honest conversation.
I build a focused plan around the package or hourly support that fits — with clear deliverables, timelines, and measurable revenue outcomes from day one.
We handle the heavy lifting — concepting events, writing the copy, training your team, configuring your systems, and pushing campaigns out the door. You stay focused on your guests; we run the playbook for you.
Every month we review what worked, what didn't, and where to push next. The goal isn't a pretty deliverable — it's a healthier P&L.

I'm Amy Bates — a hospitality operator turned consultant. I've spent my career inside restaurants, bars, and beverage programs — building events, writing menus, training teams, and obsessing over the numbers behind every shift.
Eat + Drink Consulting is the playbook I wish every operator had: practical, revenue-first, and built around what your team can actually execute on a Tuesday night.
Eat + Drink Consulting works on transparent flat-rate packages instead of vague retainers. Our signature Event/Offer Monthly Strategy is $400 per month, our one-time Loyalty Program Setup and Monthly Subscription Club Setup are $600 each, and additional hourly consulting is $45 per hour. There are no long-term contracts and no surprise invoices — you only pay for the work you need.
